Reichman’s Emergency Medicine Procedures 3rd Edition PDF

Emergency Medicine is extremely broad and the advances have been amazing in recent years. The field covers the neonate through the geriatric, surgical and medical, and encompasses all organ systems. Emergency Medicine is rapidly evolving. Procedural skills must supplement our cognitive skills. Achieving proficiency in procedural skills is essential for the daily practice of Emergency Medicine. We have produced a clear, complete, and easy to understand textbook of Emergency Medicine procedures. This new edition addresses the diverse topic of Emergency Medicine. This text will provide medical students, residents, advanced practice practitioners, and the seasoned Emergentologist with a single procedural reference on which to base clinical practices and technical skills. The primary purpose of this text is to provide a detailed and step-by-step approach to procedures performed in the Emergency Department. It is expressly about procedures. It is not meant to be a comprehensive reference but an easy to use and clinically useful procedure book that should be in every Emergency Department. The contents and information are complete. It is organized and written for ease of access and usability.

The detail is sufficient to allow the reader to gain a thorough understanding of each procedure. When available, alternative techniques or hints are presented. Each chapter provides the reader with clear and specific guidelines for performing the procedure. Although some may use this text as a library reference, its real place is in the Emergency Department where the procedures are performed. Despite its size, I hope that this book will find its way to the bedside to be used by medical students, residents, advanced practice providers, and practicing clinicians. This book will satisfy the needs of a variety of backgrounds and training. While this text is primarily written for Emergentologists, many other practitioners will find this a valuable reference. This book is written for those who care for people with acute illness or injury. Medical students and residents will find this an authoritative work on procedural skills. Medical students, residents, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, and practitioners with limited experiences will find all the information in each chapter to learn the complete procedure. Family Physicians, Internists, and Pediatricians will find this text useful to review procedures infrequently performed in the clinic, office, or urgent care center. Intensivists and Surgeons involved in the care of acutely ill patients will also find this book a wonderful resource. The experienced clinician can get a quick refresher on the procedure while enhancing their knowledge and skills. Physicians actively involved in education will find this text an easy to understand and well-illustrated source of didactic material.
